Historic Youngstown home may be haunted
The Vindicator in Youngstown, Ohio has the story:
Several staffers of Youngstown State University describe the "eerie" feelings they experienced inside Wick Mansion.The Wick Mansion — as it was once known — was built in 1906 for Youngstown industrialist Col. George Dennick Wick and his wife, Mollie. It sits at the intersection of Wick Avenue and the eastbound U.S. 422 service road.
In 1912, the Wicks traveled aboard the ill-fated Titanic. Mollie was rescued; her husband went down with the ship. Mollie returned to her Youngstown mansion to live out her years as a widow.
Rumors of a haunting by Mollie's ghost first began when Youngstown State University purchased the building as a student housing facility in the 1980s. Students reported strange occurrences and a ghostly presence, particularly on the second and third floors. The university closed the building several years ago, and tales of mysterious goings-on persisted.
